IMPROVEMENT IN BRUSH-HOLDERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 195,086, datedSeptember 11, 1877; application filed August 29, 1877.

like implements, its object being to enable the brush or mop head to beset at any desired angle with respect to the handle, whereby the brushor mop may be more conveniently manipulated and the operator enabled towork with more ease in out-of-the-way places.

To this end my invention consists in providing the brush-body ormop-head with a flat disk, and the end of the handle thereof with ashort slot, in which the said disk sits and is pivoted, and in which itmay be fastened at any desired angle by means of a bindingscrew, as morefully hereinafter set forth.

In the drawing, Figure 1. represents a front elevation of my invention,and Fig. 2 a side elevation of the same.

The letter A represents a disk of metal or other suitable material, fromwhich extends a shank, a, provided with an external screwthread, orotherwise constructed to be readily attached to the brush or mop head.

The letter B represents a ferrule of metal or other suitable material,to be attached to the end of the brush-handle. Said ferrule is providedwith a slotted extension, b, for the reception of the disk A, which issecured loosely therein by means of a pin, E, passing through the sidesof said extension, and through the disk at its center.

The letter F represents a binding-screw passing through the extension1), its inner end bearing against one side of the disk, serving to holdthe disk in any desired position.

It will be perceived that, as above constructed, the brush or mop headmay be set in a line with the handle, or at any desired angle at eitherside of the same, whereby the operator is enabled to adjust his brushaccording to circumstances, and is thus enabled to work in places thathe could not reach with the brushes as heretofore constructed andmounted.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- The disk A,provided with screw-shank a, in combination with the slotted ferrule Band binding-screw F, the disk A being pivoted in- GEORGEBRINTZINGHOFFER.
